The simultaneous presence in this
city Of such leading Democrats as Speak
er Carlisle and Congressman Mills, at
this dull season, has given rise to Il good
deal of tariff talk, color is given to the re
port by the fact that the Speaker and his
wife are on a prolonged visit to the
President and Mrs. Cleveland at their
country place. The substance of the
tariff measure agreed on by the Admin
istration is sad to be a heavy reduc-
ton in custom duties, the removal Of
tobacco taxes, and non-nterference with
the general internal revenue system, as
a compromise for cutting the tariff rates
on the necessaries Of life. In this con
nectlon it is somewhat significant that
the Bureau of Statistics has been called
upon tor figures on customs duties, TO
show where the most effective reduc-

best number that has ever been issued
during the career Of this most excellent

tents is fine portrait and biographical
sketch Of Herr Maurits Leefson, a mu-

in America. 1.-THE Raconteur' relates
an interesting. though concise history
Of Americas National and popular
songs Louis G. Elson, the Boston critic,
gives his experience on fishing expe-
dition; he certainly writes an amusing
and entertaining letter, and though the
musical season furnishes most excellent
articles on subjects most interesting to
members of the musical profession.
There are other int resting letters
from the leading musical centers, edit
orial briefs, educational articles, book
reviews, a musical story, by George D.
Cox and sixteen pages Of the latest new
music. These pieces if purchased at
any music store would cost $l.l5.

A New Convention.

Judging from what we read, the main
reason for holding Constitutional Con.
vention is that there may be re- organ.
ization of the Judiciary.
About all the reasons we find urged
against the Convention is that 1t will
simply offer an opportunity to elect 9TH
er judges in Baltimore City and for
partisan reasons. With this question
we will not assume to deal it is proba-
bly, beyond our ken, certainly it is not,
with the light We have, one Of pressing
interest to us.
There is in our opinion, however, one
branch Of our legal machinery that runs
now contrary to all accepted theory
that is founded upon most patent fall
lacy; that does not appeal to reason nor
does it bear upon its face the stamp of
ordinary common sense.
We refer to the Orphans Court as'
constituted by existing law.
That Testamentary law should be
construed by men who haye passed the
meridian Of life; and who may have
been merchants, farmers, mechanics, and
anything save lawyers, and have never
been called upon to construe the mean.
ing Of technical language, should with
but two months study, assume to sit in
judgment on any abstruse, intricate and
unusual point of law that may, yea,
that must arise, is to us one of the least
comprehensive of the many things we
are called upon to consider in matters
of local self-goverhment.
With dree, avarice and ignorance,
backed by shrewd legal talent, heirs go
before this court composed of men in
almost absolute ignorance of law and
with absolutely no experience in the
matter of final judicial decision, its
methods, safe guards and character and
they are assumed to be fully qualified
to sift out the truth from amongst the
subtle fiction of the practised attorney,
or to decide betweeen the close, dry,
complex legal arguments of two sets o f
attorneys. To ask the soundest and
and brightest Of men who has passed his
life in practical business pursuits to be.
come at months notice, student
and a master of his studies in law is !,
proposition the most absurd
The logical sequence Of the above is,
that our Orphans Court should be a
court of law and not as we have heard
it claimed, court of good common
sense.
One well-read and experienced lawyer
would transact the business of this
court '*ith satisfaction and dispatch,
while the present system Ia cum bersome
and unsatisfactory.
The Orphans Court system if no 9TH
er, is sufficient grounds to ask for the
converting of Constitutional Conven-
ton in 1883.

The Instruments Of the Baltimore and

from the exchange hall Of the Board of
Trade in Chicago, on Saturday after
noon, and the officers Of the company
were informed that the privileges of
the floor would be denied them until
such time as they agree to sever all con-
nection with bucket shops. The Board
of Trade has succeeded in compelling
all the other telegraph companies to
come to these terms. The B. & 0. cut

The DEATH OF WIN. CLIFFORD KRIsE.-
The mystery of Life and the mystery Of
Death, though familiar to us all, still remain
SO far beyond the comprehension of the finite
mind, that we fail to grasp their meaning,
and though realizing the former, the latter
is SO shroudcd in uncertainty that we uncon-
sciously feel that we and those near and dear
to us are safe from the doom to which 9th
cr m0rtals are exposed and thus when death
enters for the first time into an unbrokcn
household and the pride and hope of the fam
lily are stricken, and youth. strength, energy
and ambition, high hopes and bright pros
poets all lie cold and withcred by his ruth
less touch, it is hard for the crushed hearts
of the bereaved ones to realize that their lot
is the lot of all, and to feel that He who sent
the dread messenger into their happy home,
still "Doeth all things well"
In the death of our young friend William
Clifford Krise, this sad truth has been mourn
fully excmplited. lie was n young man of
more than ordinary ability, exemplary in
his conduct, gcntlcmanly and courteous in
dcmeanor, a loving son and brother and an
earnest christian. His early life, spent on
farm, was calculated to develop him both
morally and physicallyand for several years
after attaining his majority, he was engaged
in teaching in the country About Il year
ago he was elected Professor in Eaton
and Burnett's Business College, of which in
stitution he was graduate, and filled that
position ut the time of his death.
Mr.. Krlsc was a member Of the Methodist
church, but the building occupied by that
congregation in Emmittsburg not being large
enough to accommodate the great number
of persons in attendance at his funeral, the
services were held in the Presbyterian church
